What's with garages and businesses? I mean why does every "started small, made it big" organisation always have its roots in a garage? is there some kinda research to prove some symbiotic relationship between garages and business plans? Am still waiting for that story where someone started their business in their living room or kitchen or bedroom. Hasn't there been some awesomatic chef dude who started in the kitchen and that became his kitchen? no, i read a story again of a guy who started selling food from his garage and is now successful. Maybe we should stop saying "rags to riches" and start saying "garage to office".
I've read atleast 2 stories in the last 2 days of garage successes and that I called upon myself - just was curious to know the origins of afaqs.com and voila! there's another garage to office story.
This after knowing the stories of steve jobs and his garage, page/ brin and their garage, gates and his garage, dell (not sure) and other dudes who founded amazon, hp.... you get the drift. Agreed, america has huge ass garages - the size of my apartment probably, but India? even apartments that are just 10+ years old do not have parking, let alone a garage. Yet somehow the enterprising lot "found" their garage.
So you ask what's my gripe? well i didn't have a garage nor could afford to rent a house with a spare one. Lucky bastards with those empty garages. I now know where i went wrong with that entrepreneurial saga of mine - i should have started in the ever so "humble" garage.
